Sr.No. | Load Bearing Walls | Partition Walls |
1 | They carry loads from roof, floor, self-weight etc. | They carry self-weight only. |
2 | They are thick and hence occupy more floor area. | These walls are thin and hence occupy less floor area. |
3 | As the material required is more, the construction cost is more. | Β As the material required is less, the construction cost is less. |
4 | Stones or bricks are used for the construction. | Stones are not used for the construction of partition walls. |
